Blandford, Justice.

¶1We think this ease was virtually decided, upon all its facts, when it was here at the October term, 1885. 75 Ga. 554. True, the ease was then .reversed, but the principles then announced by Chief Justice Jackson, we think, rule and control the case as now presented. We think that under the law and facts the verdict and judgment are right and should stand.

¶2Judgment affirmed.
